okay, in collaboration with this idea:
http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=178322

I'd like to bring up a "if cB had clans/guilds" idea.

(yeah, this is mainly towards the graphic design community of cb)

Well, yeah, some of the GFX forums I go to, they have like teams, or clans, or guilds. I think the idea of it is really fun and brings out the design part of createblog more than ever.. I mean, I just think it'd be a good idea since I see there are a lot of great designers on this forum, it'd be great to see them on different teams and have harmless 1v1 (or whole, or 2v2, etc.) team battles to represent their own teams. it's all for fun, since the only thing we can do on here is show off our graphics or submit them for use. and instead of those really really long contests that have long signups and take forever to finish, it could be an extremely quick battle between some for fun. And then some team battles, like I suggested before, that happen every now and then. :P I guess it's also a good way to share your skills with team members and stuff. Hehe. Great way to learn and to get help easily. (and make new friendsssss wheeeeee)

I guess if you think about it, it's a lot like those clubs we used to have. Like Team Late Night a while back, but they were sorta banned, ehhh.

Except this is graphic-wise, so I dont know if it'd make a difference, but meh. worth a try. tongue.gif

That's funny. I had this idea in mind yesterday. But yeah, sounds like a great idea Toby. Not sure what the other mods and members think.

How do the battles go? Just one on one randomly timed battles?

Yeah. Basically that. They'd create a thread with the theme, asking for someone else who'd compete, and then later put up an official entry/voting thread. Then somewhere later comes in the results. Could be one on one or paired battles. IE: me and bob from team cool wants competitors. Then sally and jack come in from team awesome and compete. It's free-for-all, whenever you want it, battles.

Ohh. So the teams' entries are basically collaborations?

This beats the lengthy contests we usually have.

I say go ahead and start one. :P

Does anyone win or lose? If so, how is that decided?

By voting. They have their own subforms. Team Battles (where they set it up) - Battle Voting - Battle Results.

I kinda like the idea, and see no downside or negativity coming from it unless some people get into an argument and use that to ash the other person.

I think it sounds like fun, though.

So let's get this rolling. :]

I propose that we have a collab contest, where people get into groups of 2. If it works well and people don't have problems contacting and communicating with others, we can have larger groups/clans/guilds.

If you want to start with something else, now's the time. :)

Lol I'm glad ONE of my ideas is at least getting SOMEWHERE. XP Rawr. Umm, I think your idea is just fine. Just one question though - for the first contest, would it be like a war [voting?] or like judges? Are you like just testing it first to see if all goes smoothly?

Haha, yay. :)

Are judges needed for this? How does this generally work? I guess someone will be charge of the whole thing direction-wise but the community will be the one who decides who wins. By a vote? No polls because they can be easily manipulated.

Well I guess since I had the idea I'll take responsibility for the first round? Basically when voting comes, no polls are made. Just a topic and people reply to who they vote for and give reasons on why it's better than the other or something so that it's valid and not just someone voting for someone because they were bribed or whatever.
And no, judges are generally not needed but I mean, I guess for the first few they could take judges since I mean we don't know how it'll turn out yet.
